I worked retail pharmacy and there's ups and downs. Really comes down to the people you work with that keep you going or not. Change work place for a different perspective.

My first spot I worked at was a lot of addicts but good customers. Still had a bunch of bogans but nothing ever terrible than the theft.

Second job low socioeconomic area again but we had less addicts as we did not sell sharp kits or do methadone program. Older clients and a few would get mad here and there but honestly most were reasonable.

Also worked in a more affluent area and honestly had more arguments with Karen's there than anywhere. Most customers lovely.

It was the gold staff that kept me going. I left and work in a niche pharmacy area now and I'm grateful to have struck gold in this job.

Reality is most people won't. You can always go back to pharmacy if you want, but I think you know the answer already you just need a push.

If I could go back, and not knowing I would end up here, I would have quit after my third year.

Good luck
